Ashley has a true heart for serving others. She has a gift for meeting your needs before you even realize them.
From our initial interview, it was clear that Ashley is called to be a doula. We felt supported by her deep knowledge of baby and parent care, as well as her constant contact with her doula and doctor network to help guide us through specific issues, like our baby’s acid reflux. As first time parents, Ashley was able to teach us how to give baby’s first bath, bottle feeding, pumping tips, and breastmilk storage.
Ashley uses her time proactively. For example, she’ll come in the house, see that the kitchen is a mess and immediately take it upon herself to clean up and prepare some bottles for the baby, and snacks for the parents. If our baby was being breastfed and didn’t need Ashley’s immediate attention, she would find other ways to contribute - doing laundry, preparing lunch, etc. She also strikes a great balance of being friendly and present for conversations, while also giving you space as parents to get some alone time, nap time, or just focus on the baby or whatever else you need to.
Ashley loves babies and babies love her. She has a very calm and grounded demeanor that transcends to the baby. Our son loved falling asleep in her arms. I would definitely recommend Ashley as a doula to any parent!
